Description
The FORTIS Open Call #1 is designed to accelerate the development, integration, and validation of advanced human-robot interaction technologies. This call targets multidisciplinary consortia—including universities, research organizations, SMEs, mid-caps, and start-ups—who are developing innovative solutions in areas such as activity recognition (via wearable/non-wearable sensors), long-term memory (including lifelong learning and forgetting mechanisms), robotic intelligibility (through audio/visual effects), and multimodal semantic perception. Selected projects will contribute to the FORTIS project's broader mission of advancing holistic, multi-modal human-robot interaction.
